Well, this is a crazy idea that I think about from time to time:

Components: engine, charcoal, steam

- Special exhaust manifold that would be the reactor (heat charcoal)

- More exhaust heat to make steam.

- Inject the steam into the red hot charcoal (will the exhaust temp. be high 
enough??)

This way we use the engine exhaust heat to reform our fuel and could skip the 
air blown process (that's if the exhaust heat is high enough).



Just one more crazy idea......
